Information and Data Security

Information security or InfoSec refers to the management of data and information to promote accuracy, efficiency and to work against unauthorised use. InfoSec isn’t just about IT and cybersecurity. It covers all parts of the organisation that interact with data or information, for example, all of us! Examples of organisational data and information include contracts and other formal documents with customers, finance information in finance systems and information about you that is held by human resources (or HR).

This course covers information security behaviours, rules and management, ISO and ICO regulations, key policies, and the impact of poor security practices.

Who is it aimed at?
Anyone who needs to learn more about information security, the role you play in
